Saturday 10th May

It doesn’t matter how you get into the zone… how you prepare … how you get to rehearsal …. All that matters is that you’re prepared and we had just two hours of rehearsal left before we hit the road for Blackpool and we really hoped Blackpool was prepared for us!! Here at Verwood Concert Brass we have been preparing to play ‘Terra Australis’ in the Senior Cup section at the Blackpool Spring Festival, and wished every band competing in Blackpool on Saturday the safest of journeys and the best of luck on stage.

It was a beautiful day in Blackpool for the Spring Festival, and after our early morning rehearsal there was just enough time to squeeze in a walk down the pier and a ride up in the sky … Lots of great memories as always, whether it’s making first-time ones or remembering contests down the years, but for all of us it will be our last Blackpool – because next year the Spring Festival will be in Birmingham! And we weren’t finished yet – first the results, then a curry!

Verwood Concert Brass achieved an amazing 6th place out of 20 bands.
